The incident was captured by the family's security cameras, and the footage was submitted to the Southwick Fire Department which shared the video on Facebook.

The dog hit the ignition button on the gas stove, causing an item sitting on the stove to ignite. Slowly, the flames increased in size and the room started to fill up with smoke.

Thankfully, a monitored alarm system brought firefighters to the house before the blaze could spread.

"Alarms work!" the post reads. "In this case, the homeowner was connected to a monitored alarm system calling responders saving severe damage. If you have pets or young children in the home look into safety covers for your stove controls."
